Ne. Korsunskaya et al., Effect of adsorption and desorption processes on photoluminescence excitation spectra of porous silicon, APPL SURF S, 166(1-4), 2000, pp. 349-353
Plenty photoluminescence (PL) and plenty photoluminescence excitation (PLE)
spectra, as well as layer structure and surface substances on Si crystalli
tes of porous silicon prepared by different technique, have been investigat
ed by photoluminescence, atomic force microscope (AFM) and infrared (IR) tr
ansmission methods. It is shown that PLE spectra, consisted of several exci
tation bands, do not depend on Si crystallites sizes. The nature of excitat
ion bands is discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
